Nice Shot and very clear. Pls share us how to shoot fast action pictures.
In Singapore we have F1 in September I like to take good picture of that event.

I've been away for a few days and didn't notice the responses to this thread until just now.

Thank you to everyone who commented, and I'm happy that you folks enjoyed looking at the photos.

For Muse, who asked about settings... the setup (i.e. Camera/lens), and also the exif data for each shot, are shown in the gallery under each photo. If you do not see the settings below the photo, look for a link there that says "full exif". Clicking on that link will display the exif data for all the photos unless you later turn it off by clicking the link to hide the exif data.

I used a Canon 1D Mark IIN camera for most of them, with the EF 300L f2.8 lens, and some also had a 1.4x extender attached. I shot anywhere from wide open to around f8. You can see the details on any specific photo by looking at the exif data below it. I also shot some with a 100-400L IS f5.6 lens and also used a 40d on some. But I don't remember which are which without looking at the exif data myself. I don't remember if I posted some with each of the different setups I used or not.

If anyone wants to revisit them, here is the link again for your convenience...

Thanks Tim thats great, I spent a little while looking through the exif data which if I hadn't been so daft I would have spotted first time, doh!!
I knew you'd be using some nice glass, the 300mm is very nice, I have the 100-400, and 70-200is I'll give em both a go. A lot of the shots do seem to be around f4 -5 ish so I'm a happy bunny. Looking forward to having a go at that, shame Maria won't be there though.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts on such great shots, much appreciated.

Hey Tim,

You have some nice stuff of Maria... She's has so much energy and expression, she's fun to shoot. I haven't had the chance to shoot her in quite a while now. But, I hope to shoot her again...

Ciao,
Larry
